Natural Facial Scrub
Facial scrubs are smoothers with an immediate effect. In scrub products, the cleansing effect is enhanced by the addition of very fine substances that act slightly abrasively or by rubbing off.
In conventional cosmetics, synthetic particles (microplastics) are usually used for this purpose. In natural cosmetic products, however, only natural substances such as finely powdered silica or clay, jojoba beads, or finely ground olive pits are used as abrasive agents.
Thanks to these ingredients, scrubs clean deep into the pores and remove dead skin flakes. The top layer of skin, consisting of dry and dead horn cells, is gently removed. At the same time, the skin is massaged, blood circulation is stimulated, and the formation of new skin cells is encouraged. The skin becomes smoother, rosier, and fresher and is especially receptive to skincare products after a scrub.
Special Feature: Enzymatic or Chemical Peels
In chemical and enzymatic peels, a chemical process replaces mechanical rubbing. At higher concentrations, fruit acids, also known as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), act keratolytically, meaning they dissolve the bonds of accumulated dead skin cells and promote their shedding. Furthermore, depending on the type and concentration, the acids stimulate the skin’s own collagen production, reduce fine lines, and can even out pigmentation. For oily skin, fruit acids also help prevent the formation of blackheads and blemishes, resulting in a refined and clearer complexion.
Additionally, there are peels with beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid, which penetrate deeply into the pores and are especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin.
Enzymatic peels use natural enzymes like papain from papaya or bromelain from pineapple to dissolve the proteins in dead skin cells and gently remove them. These peels are particularly suitable for sensitive skin as they do not contain abrasive particles and allow for a gentle yet effective exfoliation.
Natural Cosmetic Facial Scrubs: Gentle and Effective
Facial scrubs from the natural cosmetics sector offer numerous benefits: they effectively cleanse the skin, remove dead skin cells, and promote cell renewal. At the same time, they are gentle on the skin and environmentally friendly. By avoiding microplastics and synthetic chemicals, they protect the environment and reduce the risk of skin irritation.
The natural ingredients intensely care for the skin and provide a fresh, radiant complexion. Regular use of natural cosmetic scrubs can help refine the skin’s appearance and keep it healthy and youthful.
